Cool piece of video. I would think all actors require the discipline of not being distracted while filming their scenes. I remember in the 'Michael Clayton' DVD feature on the making of the movie the director talked about the last scene when George was riding in the taxi and looking out the window. The whole scene was shot with the camera on George's face. He stayed pensive and thoughtful in his facial expression...all the while people along the street are watching and probably waving and whatever.

Donnamarie - As a matter of fact, in his Inside the Actors Studio interview George said that they filmed in midtown traffic and people were calling out "Hey, George! How ya doin'?" from the cars around him. He said for the whole scene all he was doing was trying not to laugh!

Joanna, I read an article from 2009 by a film journalist who interviewed Jason Reitman, the director of 'Up In The Air' and he asked him about the movie's ending. Reitman said it was his intent not to have a point of view about the ending. He wanted the audience to see that Bingham has come to a realization. He could get on a plane and go back to living the same life. Or he could get on a plane, move somewhere, settle down and meet someone to share his life with. He left it up to the audience to ask themselves what would they do.

It's a terrific movie and he's great in it, but I always found it painful to watch for many reasons, - one of which was that it seemed to mirror his own life at the time so closely . Maybe that's why he was so good in the part.
